31-year-old Morgan has in recent years often been mentioned as one of the world's best football players.

However, the form is unclear.

Morgan became a mother in May and is in great need of match training so as not to fall behind before, among other things, the Olympics next year.

The North American professional league NWSL has not been canceled, but due to the corona pandemic, it will be a compressed autumn series.

There, each team will only play four matches, which has forced several players to move to European clubs.

That's why she's like many other NWSL stars and will move to England in the autumn.

Morgan, who belongs to Orlando Pride, will be loaned to Tottenham until the end of the year.

Two other Orlando players, Canadian Shelina Zadorsky and Australian Alanna Kennedy, have made the same journey before.

Morgan will be the fifth player from the USA's world champions team from 2019, who now in the autumn signed a loan agreement with a Super League club.

Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle have gone to Manchester City while Tobin Heath and Christen Press have signed for Manchester United.

Alex Morgan has accounted for 107 goals in 169 international appearances for the United States.

She made six of them when the United States won World Cup gold in 2019.
